Association was unsuccessful #81

I can't get use already associated url/user/passwords from KeeFox in ChomelPass. I'm getting this message from ChromelPass:

"ChromeIPass has been disconnected from KeePassHttp.

Association was unsuccessful Press the reconnect button to establish a new connection

Reconnect"

If I press the reconnect button it wants to create a new association which I don't want to, I want to use an already existing one created with KeeFox, which by the way works for the same URL.

You're getting confused, ChromeIPass works with KeePassHttp, not KeeFox.

Now, what do you mean you want to use an existing association. Each browser, profile and computer should have their own association.

If you've never paired ChromeIPass with KeePassHttp then you will need to create a pair by association.

Hi, I thought I could use KeePass (with KeePassHttp) regardless of webbrowser... in a way similar to LastPass. If I already have stored a url/username/password combination in KeePass through KeePassHttp using KeeFox, shouldn't ChomelPass be able to use the same url/username/password combiantion withouth having to create a new association?

I hope you understand my thoughts... it's early in the morning :)

Keefox is irrelevant. You must create a new association for each browser and computer you use.

Bummer.. oh, well back to using LastPass then :(

What are you talking about??? An association is a way of authorizing a browser to access keepass, it doesn't delete your database or anything.

Of course it doesn't delete the database, I just thougt that the plugins used some sort of KeePass API so that they could use credentials that had been stored by another plugin... since they are accessing the same KeePass database and accessing the same url and form with the same username and password. But if each browser (with a KeePass plugin) on a computer must store its own copy of the unique (url/form/username/password) credentials I'd rather use LastPass since that can re-use the credentials stored from any browser (with a lastpass plugin) on any computer.

pfn commented 12 years ago

Huh?

Association has nothing to do with url/form/username/password

Assocation = setting up Browser & KeePass connectivity to allow them to communicate.

Ahh... sorry, seems like I got it all wrong!! :) Btw, a tip for others... I'm using Ubuntu One to share the database between my computers and phone so that I can use the same database!

Thanks!
